Watercolours.This painting was inspired by a photo I made in winter 2010. It shows a nice little hill in a park near our house. Under the wooden bridge is a narrow ditch that connects two small ponds. The old tree on the right grew across the water in an idyllic way.The bridge is old and very wobbly, so we avoid crossing it. Walking around the ponds and climbing the hill is much more fun.

This is really a lovely small place. I wish there were big meadows in the distance behind the hill, but there’s actually only a golf course…

The values are so exact it could be a photo from a distance, and still have the painterly delight when seen normally. Beautiful colors and compsition. My eye is attracted to the sun spot and yellow reflections on the left though. Great painting!
